Yes you can still join in anytime. You just have to pick 3 teams before they kickoff each week. Only one game has been played so you have plenty still to pick from.

:yeahthat: Glad to have ya jump in Kodiak! I'm still undecided on who to pick so I'll probably be waiting until right before game time Sunday morning as usual. The first week is so hard...

Wow, good to see lots of new players, going to be a good contest! Let the games begin! (I'm waiting for SC's picks, LOL)

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

lol If all you do is copy me, then we'll just end up tied for 1st! tongue: Unless your plan is to pick opposite of me (and that might not be a bad method, considering some of the weeks I had last year!) :faint:

thanks Chic! Here's a dumb question, is there a limit on how many times you can pick a specific team?

There are no dumb questions! :)

No, you can choose the same team every week if you'd like (TPP can't seem to stay away from his beloved Chargers for example); the only rule about picking is that once you choose your picks for the week you can't change them, and you have to pick before that teams' game kicks off.


Did we ever decide if we can pick games that are designated OFF in the opening lines? We could treat them as pick-ums where it's just straight up who's gonna win. Just checking for a consensus...

OK, I'll probably end up getting spanked but I'm going with pure emotion on my first picks:

Seattle (AK's home team)
San Diego (Raider hater I am)
Denver (my new home team)

Hoping to see big Ben on his big butt and Payton getting his 400. I'll be more logical with my next picks.

I think the OFF games eventually get point spreads posted before kick-off, so you just need to wait or take a guess. They are usually due to injuries.

The thing about waiting for spreads on OFF games is that someone may pick it when it says one thing, then someone else picks it with a different line - we had that controversy the first year with people picking based on different spreads and then getting upset when someone else picked the same game with a different spread and they won, but the first person lost - that's when we decided to go with a line that didn't change. I'm thinking we don't use the OFF games then.
